Overview
Planned movement for alignment and bite.
Orthodontics focuses on the position of teeth and how the upper and lower teeth meet. Treatment may address crowding, spacing, alignment or bite concerns using braces, clear aligners or other appliances selected for an individual plan.
A responsible plan begins with clinical assessment and appropriate diagnostic records. Treatment approach, expected timing, maintenance and retention depend on the patient's needs, oral health and the complexity of the planned tooth movement.

Frequently asked questions
Orthodontics,
clearly explained.
What does orthodontic treatment address?
Orthodontic treatment may address tooth alignment, crowding, spacing and certain bite concerns. An assessment is needed to identify the issue and suitable options.
Are braces and clear aligners interchangeable?
No. Both can move teeth, but their suitability depends on the required movement, treatment complexity, patient preferences and the ability to follow appliance instructions.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Timing varies with treatment goals, complexity, biological response, appliance choice and appointment progress. A provider can estimate timing after assessment and planning.
Why are retainers used after treatment?
Retainers help maintain the tooth positions achieved during active orthodontic treatment. The type and wearing schedule should follow the provider's instructions.
Does this page recommend a treatment or provider?
